The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics calculates the CPI and defines it as, "a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services." The BLS records the price of thousands of goods and services month by month. They consider goods and services within eight main categories: food and beverage, housing, apparel, transportation, medical care, recreation, education, and other goods and services. They aggregate the data collected in order to compare how much it would cost a consumer to buy the same market basket of goods and services within one month or one year compared with the previous month or year.

Wages, social security payments, and pensions are all affected by the CPI.

August 2022 update

1. The updated database has monthly prices from over 400 supermarkets across six chains (all Shufersal stores, plus ~20 per chain for the other chains), from March 2022-August 2022. Before march there is a steady increase in the number of stores.
2. The current database has combined all the supermarket chains, which required adding two columns - 'ChainName' is the supermarket chain, and 'store_code' is a concatenation of the store_id and the beginning of the chain name, to solve the duplicate store_ids.
3. A new table was constructed to try and identify the manufacturers of each product, given the significant discrepancies in the retailers' reporting. This table ("manufacturer_finder") has identified the likely supplier of around half of the products in the database, and can be used to track specific suppliers (producers/importers).

This dataset was created to analyze changes in prices in the Israeli grocery retail market. It was created based on the files retailers are legally required to upload, available here: https://www.gov.il/he/departments/legalInfo/cpfta_prices_regulations

The data is not complete and downloads increased gradually. Beginning in May 2020 there are sporadic files for three specific Shufersal stores. Starting in November 2021 Downloads increased, ~20-50 stores downloaded at various times from Shufersal, and ~5-10 stores downloaded from a few other retailers.

Different table for each retailer. The table "snifim" specifies the names for stores for Shufersal (in the main table you can find store_id which can be joined to the names).

Description of columns in the Prices tables: Filename - original file name (without the xml extension) store_id - ID of the store upload_date - date of file download. Upload dates before 2020 - unclear what they are, probably of stores which shut down.
PriceUpdateDate - Last date of price change of the item. ItemCode - a unique ID of the item. ItemName - name. ManufacturerName - manufacturer. These data are messy. ManufactureCountry - country of production. ManufacturerItemDescription - similar to ItemName UnitQty - unit of measure Quantity - quantity. UnitOfMeasure - also unit of measure ItemPrice - price (NIS) UnitOfMeasurePrice - price divided by quantity AllowDiscount - boolean/dummy variable.
